Sunak’s colleague Anthony Albanese then spoke up, taking to Twitter to reiterate his support for the Australian men’s and women’s teams.

I am proud of our men’s and women’s cricket teams who won their two starting #Ashes matches against England.

Same old Australians – always winning!

Australia support @ahealy77, @patcummins30 and their teams and look forward to welcoming them home with a win.

England coach Brendon McCullum predicts the Australian cricket team and especially Alex Carey will regret the removal of Jonny Bairstow, but the tourists playing in the Ashes give the wicketkeeper a special honor. England seamer Stuart Broad told Carey that you will forever be remembered for dismissing Bairstow on the fifth day.

Nothing brings a team together like noisy crowds. He’s one of the ones we get around, Cummins told reporters before the team left London for the third test at Leeds.

But moments like this can really strengthen the team. I think Kez (Carey) had another fantastic game, he broke some records…he was great behind the wicket.

We’ll keep an eye on him.
